Bastian Schweinsteiger is staying in Chicago for the 2018 MLS season.
The Chicago Fire announced that it reached a one-year deal with Schweinsteiger, still listed as a designated player for 2018, who was out of contract.

“I am very happy to re-sign with the Chicago Fire, and to continue what we started in 2017,” Schweinsteiger said in a press release. “Last year was a special moment for my career, but it felt incomplete without a trophy. But I am sure we can create another memorable season with the support of our great fans. I love this city, this sport, and winning, so I look forward to another season with the Fire as we progress to hopefully another level of success.”
The 33-year-old midfielder arrived from Manchester United last March and made 24 appearances for the team, guiding them to its first playoff appearance since 2012.
